Half Week Hard Music: Best of 2009 Edition

I decided to do this post featuring bands from our best of picks.

Iron Age - Dispossessed


Mastodon - The Czar


The Black Dahlia Murder - Christ Deformed


Narrows - Chambered


Between The Buried And Me - Swim to the Moon



I know this song isn't off of The Chappell Show Vol. 2 but it was made by one of Single Second's biggest supporters so it had to go up.
Rasheed Chappell x When Giants Meet - The Intro

Best Album of 2009: Derek

Iron Age - The Sleeping Eye

Honorable mentions:

The Black Dahlia Murder - Deflorate


Narrows - New Distances


Rasheed Chappell - The Chappell Show Vol. 2

Half-Week Hardcore: Deathwish Edition

Single Second has a Deathwish problem! I've pretty much started to buy all of my music directly from Deathwish.com, every time I go to my local music store they just don't have the albums that are a little harder to find. Combine that with Deathwish's current summer sale, and I'm ready to spend some money.
This order included :
Cold World - Dedicated To Babies Who Came Feet First 12"
Integrity - Walpurgisnacht 7"
Narrows - Self Titled 7"
The Carrier - No Love Can Save Me 7"
Lewd Acts - Lung Patrol 7"
Narrows - New Distances CD
Converge - Unloved and Weeded Out CD
Learn - Life And... CD
Trash Talk - Plagues... Walking Disease CD
Modern Life Is War - My Love. My Way. CD
Lewd Acts - Dark Days CD
The Hope Conspiracy - Death Knows Your Name CD




Deathwish thoughtfully uploads all of their vinyl so that when you buy it you can download the songs from their website. I enjoy ripping them using my own USB turntable, a Numark TTUSB (coincidentally the same turntable Deathwish uses). Next order I make is going to have to have some Deathwish slipmats on it.


Im going to try to get to a few reviews soon. Cold World, Carpathian, Narrows and The Hope Conspiracy, so watch out for those in the near future.

Half Week Hardcore

Deathwish is quickly becoming my favorite label. I love the fact that you can preview pretty much all of their releases on the website before you buy. I spend hours listening to samples over and over and exploring new bands. Here are a few that I've gotten really into lately.

Narrows - Gypsy Kids


Narrows - Chambered


Lewd Acts - Play Me Something That I Know


The Carrier - Wasted
